I'm Scott Tischler — founder of AIrecommend.ai and a practitioner-authority on AI search and Answer Engine Optimization. As discovery moves from ten blue links to AI recommendations, I help businesses become the name the machines actually name.
A marketing-technology operator now working on the frontier of how people — and AI — decide who to trust.
When someone asks an AI which business is best, my work makes sure the right answer is the one that gets said.
I'm Scott Tischler, Founder and Chairman of AIrecommend.ai. My focus is the intersection of generative AI and practical business growth — building the entity authority and structured knowledge that answer engines reward, so the businesses I work with become the recommendation, not just a result.
Across 20+ years I've worked in marketing technology, AI innovation, and scaling digital businesses, with earlier chapters at American Express, MetLife, and UBS. I keep sharpening the craft through executive programs at Wharton, Harvard, Yale, and Oxford, and I studied law at Concord Law School — and I've taught, too, as an adjunct professor at Virginia Tech and in faculty work with the University of Phoenix.
I'm also a longtime real estate investor and creative-finance practitioner. I bought my first property in 1998, read the top of the market and sold my portfolio ahead of the 2008 crash, then got back in when the numbers made sense again — with deals ranging up to a 48,000-square-foot warehouse. I was renting by the room — the co-living model the market now calls "PadSplit" — years before it had a name.
Away from the desk, I've spent decades in the gym and at the jeweler's bench — fitness and jewelry design being lifelong pursuits in discipline and taste.
The same discipline shows up everywhere — on the mat, on the court, in the gym, and at the top of the sales board.
The platform helping local and service businesses win in the age of generative AI — by becoming the answer, not just a link.
Search has crossed a line. A growing share of people begin with an AI assistant, and most of those searches never produce a click — the AI just answers. In that world, the winner isn't the site ranked tenth; it's the brand the model names.
AIrecommend.ai scans how a business currently shows up across the major AI systems, then builds the entity authority and structured knowledge those systems reward — turning invisibility into consistent, measurable recommendation.

The disciplines that keep me sharp — and that I've cared about for decades.
A designer's love of fine jewelry — ethically sourced, conflict-free stones and custom pieces made to be kept, including the signature “Lotus Goddess” line in 18K gold using rare plique-à-jour enameling.
See the work →Decades in the gym and still counting. Fitness is my constant — the daily discipline that carries straight into how I build companies: consistency, effort, and showing up long after motivation fades.
Follow along →AIrecommend.ai helps businesses become the ones AI assistants recommend. As people shift from Google to tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, we build the entity authority and structured knowledge those systems reward — so you get cited and recommended, not skipped.
AEO is the discipline of optimizing to be the answer an AI gives, rather than a link on a results page. Where SEO chased rankings, AEO earns citations and recommendations inside generative-AI responses — the new front door for discovery.

They're lifelong personal pursuits. Scott Ryan is my jewelry design work — ethically sourced, custom fine pieces. Fitness has been a daily discipline for decades. Both feed the same instincts I bring to building companies: craft, consistency, and taste.
